"There is no way she was going to go out on patrol," one source told The Post, highlighting the discomfort Epps faced with a potential shift back to field duty. Her cushy desk job had seemingly insulated her from the rigors of traditional policing, making the prospect of returning to patrol work unappealing as an internal affairs investigation loomed over her overtime practices.
"What administrative work requires you to stay there 115 to 120 hours every f-king month to apply that type of money?" a Bronx cop questioned, illustrating the discontent among rank-and-file officers regarding Epps' substantial overtime earnings.
Records showed that last year she worked nearly 1,627 hours of overtime on top of her regular shift, averaging roughly 74 hours a week, which raised significant eyebrows and prompted scrutiny about her allocation of time and responsibilities within the department.
Her whopping overtime was capped after The Post's exclusive report last month, which suggests that external attention has caused the NYPD to act on her overtime practices, indicating potential reforms around the management of overtime hours in the department.
